Current CCNA 640-801 Edition

Hey Guys,

I just passed my Network+ exam today and I am going to prepare for my CCNA however, I was wondering if anyone knows what the current version of the book I should purchase? I am thinking about getting the one from Todd Lammle CCNA 4th Edition? What would you suggest?

**I know off hand that I will be having problems with subnetting it would be nice to know if there is a book that goes over that thoroughly.

Thanks!

I'm doing CNNA too, but you've got more indepth networking knowledge (Net+) than I do... so you'll probably have fun rather than study. I ordered the CCNA Certification Library Self-Study by Wendell Odom. I've heard from many that it's a very good book. I've actually heard Odom's books are the best on the subject.

Todd Lammle has always been the author for CCNA books. But I too heard a lot of good things about Wendell Odom. I usually favor Cisco press books when it comes to Cisco exams, but Sybex books for Cisco exams are usually top-quality as well. If you got the chance, go to a local bookstore that sells both, read a couple of pages from both books and decide which author's writing style suits you best. As for technical content, including subnetting, it really doesn't matter much.
